I'm a third-year undergraduate at Northwestern University pursuing a four-year combined BS/MS degree in mechanical engineering with a concentration in aerospace.
I'm studying mechanical engineering because I'm fascinated by how we turn ideas into physical systems that move, fly, and work in the real world. Aerospace, in particular, is where I see myself. I’ve always been drawn to the complexity and precision of machines, from aircraft to spacecraft.
This fascination is also tied to a mission-driven purpose: I am passionate about applying my skills to contribute to our nation's security and help ensure its technological edge.
I'm originally from Morris County, New Jersey. I enjoy running, hiking, and many other activities that get me outdoors. I love the thrill of an endurance performance, whether it is a scenic long run or summiting a mountain. I've run 57 half-marathons (or longer) so far, and plan to get into triathlons and marathons soon.
